@Retro, I have most of the Nintendo Jakks ,Figmas and S.H. Figurearts. If you want some pics, I can supply.

@Oatmeal, I got 2 friends who wanted one, if you got a spare

I bought the second one just in case you couldn't get one. Let me check with a buddy. He was going to preorder one this afternoon. If he was able to it is all yours.

Thanks, larry. While I don't need any pics, I do have two questions:

1) Are you happy with your Figuarts Mario?
2) If you still have the packaging, how does the figuarts packaging compare with the figma's? Specifically, which is shorter/taller, thinner/wider, etc. Or if you could provide specific dimensions, that would be awesome too!

1 - For the price, I am mostly satisfied with the Mario. My biggest complaint is the legs and articulation, its hard to get a running or jumping pose without them looking off. The legs cant go much farther back than standing, though go forward good. The knees, when they bend, seem to make the legs extend. So if one leg is fully bent and one is not, one leg looks longer than the other, and when both are fully bent, they look too long. I was able to work out a good looking jump pose. The shoulders also are not ball joints, they cant go straight out in a "T" pose they do have some wiggle room. I'll post some pics tomorrow showing what I mean.

2 - The boxes are WAY smaller. About the size of a Jewel case, Mario, Luigi, and Set A are as thick as 2 UGSs. Sets B and C are twice as thick and a litter wider on the front. IDK where a ruler is at the moment.


The biggest positive is the play sets, I own 3X Set As (blocks) One set B and C (Green and red pipes) I also have Luigi shipping in. The sets are cheapest on sites like Hobby Link and Amiami, $5-$10 cheaper than BBTS.
The Jakks Pacific Wario and Yoshi fit in very well, the Mario is the same height as S.H. and fit the scale of the Figmas. The Popco/Banpresto figures are mostly too big to be in scale, but Peach fits in well.
Mario also fits well in the Mario Kart 64 figure's karts.

Wow, that small hey? It's always so hard to tell the scale of the packaging from pictures floating around the internet because it's never next to something I am familiar with that I can use as a reference.

I do find that to be a bit of a bummer. One thing I love about the figma figures is that the pictures on the side of their boxes look great when they are all lined up side by side. I should carefully consider this new information before my order is shipped.

Man I am such a sucker for what is essentially garbage (the packaging). I think the Jakks Pacific micro playsets are kinda cool, but I wish so hard that they were in window-boxes that you could easily display and store them in. I also kinda wish they were better because, looking at them a second time, they don't seem all that great. Do you have any of the micro playsets? Also, what about the 6" DK and Bowser? I KNOW that they are in boxes that would be easy to display.
